If you just removed your existing door or you are installing a new door,
complete all steps in PREPARING ThE OPENING.
To ensure secure mounting of track brackets, side and center
bearing brackets, or steel angles to new or retro-fit construction, it is
recommended to follow the procedures outlined in DASMA Technical
Data Sheets #156, #161 and #164 at www.dasma.com.
The inside perimeter of your garage door opening should be framed
with wood jamb and header material. The jambs and header must be
securely fastened to sound framing members. It is recommended that
2” x 6” lumber be used. The jambs must be plumb and the header
level. The jambs should extend a minimum of 14” (356 mm) above the
top of the opening for Torsion spring applications. for low headroom
applications, the jambs should extend to the ceiling height. Minimum
side clearance required, from the opening to the wall, is 3-1/2” (89
mm).
imPoRTaNT:
CLOSELY INSPECT EXISTING jAMBS, hEADER AND
MOUNTING SURfACE. ANY WOOD fOUND NOT TO BE SOUND, MUST BE
REPLACED.
for Torsion spring applications, a suitable mounting surface must
be firmly attached to the wall, above the header at the center
of the opening. The mounting surface must be 2” x 6” lumber
minimum (Select southern yellow pine lumber. Do not use lumber
marked as spruce-pine-fur or SPf). The mounting surface must be
securely attached to the wall with four (4) 3/8” anchors for masonry
constructions or four (4) 5/16” x 4” lag screws for wood construction.
NoTe:
Drill a 3/16” pilot hole in the mounting surface to avoid splitting
the lumber. Do not attach the mounting surface with nails.
fAILURE TO SECURELY ATTACh A SUITABLE MOUNTING PAD TO
STRUCTURALLY SOUND fRAMING MEMBER COULD CAUSE SPRINGS TO
VIOLENTLY PULL MOUNTING PAD fROM WALL, RESULTING IN SEVERE
OR fATAL INjURY.
weather Seal (may Not be included):
Cut the weather seal (if necessary) to fit the header and jambs.
For fully adjustable track:
Align the header seal 1/8” to 1/4” inside
the header and temporarily secure it to the header with equally spaced
nails. Next, fit the jamb seals up tight against the header seal and 1/8”
to 1/4” inside the jamb. Temporarily secure the jamb seals with equally
space nails approximately 12” to 18” apart. This will keep the bottom
section from falling out of the opening during installation.
NoTe:
Do not permanently attach weather seal to the jamb at this time.
heaDRoom RequiRemeNT:
headroom is defined as the space needed
above the top of the door for tracks, springs, etc. to allow the door to
open properly. If the door is to be motor operated, 2-1/2” (64 mm) of
additional headroom is required.
NoTe:
6” LhR Conversion kit is available for 12” Radius only. Contact
your local Wayne-Dalton dealer.
backRoom RequiRemeNT:
Backroom is defined as the distance
needed from the opening back into the garage to allow the door to
open fully.
